A reusable anchor bolt template (10) and method for suspending an anchor bolt (56) into a concrete material (53) and adapted to be fastened to a single form element (54) at a top end and a bottom end of the form element (54). The preferred embodiment (10) of a reusable anchor bolt template is comprised of a form plate (11) that engages and rests upon the top portion of the form element (54). Adjustably attached to the form plate (11) is a securing strap (12) for engaging the bottom end of the form element (54), thereby securing the template (10) to the form element (54). Attached to the form plate (11) is a means for suspending an anchor bolt (56) into poured concrete (53), preferably comprising a first and second primary support elements (18, 19) attached in cantilever fashion to the form plate (11). In the preferred embodiment (10), two parallel secondary support members (27, 28) are adjustably attached at each end to the first and second primary support members (18, 19). The first and second secondary support members (27, 28) preferably support one or more support plates (42). In operation, a threaded end of an anchor bolt (56) is inserted into the support plate (42) opening from below. Then, an anchor bolt nut (57) may be threaded down upon the anchor bolt (56) such that the anchor bolt nut (57) rests upon the support plate (12). As such, the anchor bolt (56) is permitted to hang freely from the anchor bolt template (10) and into a concrete material (53).
